Except hardware, the reason may be one or more problems acting together. The problem \012nowadays is that it is very difficult and time consuming to monitor and \012take care of your Lenovo PC. Even experienced users find it hard to \012perform such tasks on regular basis because you might need to prepare a \012huge amount of time and energy to deal with each issue separately.

Usually, new systems come with a lot of garbage that people never use yet, it always starts up with Windows and ties up a lot of processor time. First, I recommend uninstalling all of the generic games (not the Windows Games) and Promo Packages. Next, goto Control Panel/System and Maintenance/Performance Information and Tools/Use Tools to Improve Performance. On the Left is "Manage Startup Programs". If there is a lot in there, remove or set not to start, the ones you don't need.\015\012Also, there is "Disk Cleanup" and "Advanced Tools.\015\012In "Advanced Tools" is "Disk Defragmenter". It will organize the fragments of your files into the order they should be for faster access. It takes quite a while to complete. If I run it manually, I usually do it before I goto bed and let it run, it could take a couple hours depending on how much is on your Hard Drive.\015\012\015\012Check to see if Intel has a "Core Optimizer" program. AMD does, but I haven't had the time to check with Intel yet. It optimizes the Processors functions on multi-core systems.
